My Journey to creating sustainable impact

I’m Matt Brinkley, and I help purpose-led organisations grow with confidence through sustainable fundraising, stronger systems, and clear practical support.

My upbringing was active and community focused, and that’s shaped how I work today: I’m proactive, solutions-led, and motivated by impact.

 

I’ve always been drawn to the point where ambition meets action helping good ideas become well funded, resilient organisations that can deliver for the people they serve.

I support CIC owners and community leaders in three main ways.

 

  1. I run a step by step fundraising course designed to make fundraising simpler, more strategic, and more achievable. 

  2. I offer one-to-one mentoring for fundraising success, helping you build a plan that fits your organisation, your capacity, and your goals.​

  3. I provide one-to-one support for CIC owners, including hands on guidance with Sport England grant applications from shaping the idea and aligning outcomes, to building a compelling case for support. ​

I also love to travel and explore, and I’ve seen first hand how challenge can fuel purpose. In September 2025, I climbed Kilimanjaro in memory of my best friend, combining adventure with fundraising.

Across my work and challenges, I’ve helped raise over £50,000 for good causes.

My tagline says it best: Sustainable Growth, Resilience, and Impact.
